33 Million People in the Room : How to Create, Influence, and Run a Successful Business with Social Networking
"Juliette Powell has provided a timely crash course on how to leverage your business''s online presence. A must-read for any aspiring entrepreneur, activist, brand manager, or c-level executive." --Jeffrey Stewart, Serial Technology Entrepreneur; Founder, Mimeo, Urgent Career, and Monitor110 "Reading Juliette Powell''s book is like perusing the secret trade documents of the most connected social butterfly. Upon first meeting Juliette, she immediately grabbed me by the arm and introduced me to the most important person in the room. When you pick up her book, it''s the same experience. She reaches through the pages and gives the reader entry to the halls of power through online networking." --Amy Shuster, Editorial Producer, MSNBC "Juliette knows her way around a social network; she regales us with tales and practical advice from the plastic porous mediascape of today." --David Thorpe, Global Director of Innovation, Ogilvy & Mather "If you are in business or starting one, and wonder what the heck all this talk about social networking is about, this book is the best quick guide I''ve seen.
It''s full of juicy stories, backed up by sound social science, lucidly explained." --Howard Rheingold, Author, Smartmobs ; Professor, Stanford and Berkeley "The exciting new world of online social networking is demonstrating the profound power of these truths to change the very fabric of society as we know it. Our interactions, relationships, and values are changing faster than most of us can comprehend. For some, the pace of this change is alarming. For others it is empowering. In 33 Million People in the Room Juliette Powell takes us on a funfilled tour of this rapidly changing hypo-manic digital ecosystem simultaneously providing both practical advice and an insightful commentary on the increasing importance of authenticity in modern culture. Along the way we meet a hilarious cast of characters and gain a behind-the-scenes glimpse into real social networking success stories showing how to leverage the power of this modern phenomenon to achieve meaningful social and economic results for you and your business." --Michael Spencer, CTO, ASMALLWORLD "Juliette Powell has captured the strength, excitement, and opportunity of social networks in this compelling work.
Opening with an arresting saga about Chris Anderson''s debut as the new TED owner, she deftly sketches vignette after vignette that will have you thinking--why not me? Social networking power is awesome for those who have experienced it--but most people remain skeptical, guarded, and untrusting. Give up control? All control? Well, as she explains--YES! I''ve tried it, using six hundred fifty ''coauthors'' to write a book--a book no one could have written, but to which ''everyone'' could contribute. It was hard, very hard at first, to relinquish control, just as Powell describes. But the benefits she outlines are real. Try it--you''ll see!" --Chuck House, Executive Director, Media X, Stanford University "Digital society is all about expanding and energizing connections between people and ideas in ways we are just starting to understand. 33 Million People in the Room shares the perspective of an insider and shows us how business, entertainment, and politics all connect in the brave new world of social networking." --Kenny Miller, Creative Director and EVP, MTV Network Global Digital Media "If you thought social networks were just for kids, or geeks, or simply too frivolous for your time, then think again. Juliette Powell reveals the power of connections, the strategies to gain audience and the best practices to build community in this brisk-paced canter through the new tools and techniques for doing business.
It''s jargon-free and an easy read for those who have never dipped a toe in the water, but even experienced networkers will find wisdom in its pages. Real-world examples make a compelling case for her notion that social capital makes sound business sense and when successfully established can translate into capital in the bank." --Paul Brannan, Deputy Editor, News Interactive, BBC "Juliette Powell has written a book that will advance your understanding of social networking whether you''re a nerd, Luddite, a savvy teen blogger, or, most importantly, a business person trying to gain an edge by embracing the latest Internet phenomenon." --Joel Dreyfuss, Editor in Chief, Red Herring magazine "Juliette Powell''s book 33 Million People in the Room is the perfect book for the class. Powell understands that social networking is the best way to find like-minded people online, either to pursue an interest, reach a particular goal, create or grow a business, or just to help establish a sense of community among people online and beyond. Bravo Prof. Powell for a job well done!" --Bill Sobel, Sobel Media, NY:MIEG, www.nymieg.
org "Juliette Powell has brilliantly answered in rich dimensions why you should be deeply involved in this new communications fabric. Through vignettes with the true leaders of this revolution, Juliette has set forth all the energy and steam you need for your boilers to get going and enter the room." --Chris Brogan, Business Advisor, chrisbrogan.com "Juliette Powell has delivered a wonderfully succinct snapshot for embracing social computing as a way of doing business, not just the latest technology trend. Whether you are new to making connections online or are a social computing technology veteran, Juliette encapsulates the themes, concepts, and ideas that are most relevant for anyone in business interested in working in or exploring social computing." --Jeffrey Dachis, Cofounder, Razorfish, Inc.; Cofounder, Senior Partner Bond Art & Science; Chairman, Producers Guild of America New Media Council "Social networking is just not for breakfast anymore. 33 Million People in the Room demonstrates how it transcends marketing and promotion, connecting people and companies in ways none of us dared dream.
Thanks to Juliettte for putting this in perspective, and to social networks for so many of my restless nights." --David Blumenstein, Cofounder, The Hatchery "Juliette Powell puts a human face on the social changes being wrought online, whether describing new tools like MySpace and Facebook, or key concepts like viral communication and social capital." --Clay Shirky, Adjunct Professor, NYU''s Graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP); Author, Here Comes Everybody "We all recognize that social networking and the technologies of connection and collaboration are an enormous phenomenon. But what do they mean? How can they, how will they be used to create social and economic value? Drawing on her own experience and on the insights of The Gathering Think Tank, Juliette Powell has developed a powerful set of answers to those critical questions. Full of clear explanations, helpful examples, and accessible advice, 33 Million People in the Room is an important tool for managers and citizens alike--a sourcebook for the next economy." --Lawrence Wilkinson, Cofounder and Vice Chair, Oxygen Media; Cofounder and President, Global Business Network; Cofounder and Chair, Heminge & Condell "Juliette has done a terrific job of capturing the power of and the opportunities presented by social networks. Whether you are looking to maximize the impact of ''You Inc'' or a global company, there are important lessons in this book. Things have changed, again, and this book will help you capitalize on it.
" --Doug Zingale, General Manager of Strategic Partnerships, Zune, Microsoft Corporation Social networks are no fad. They''re a permanent reality: one that offers immense opportunities to smart, innovative businesses. Now, top social networking consultant Juliette Powell reveals how dozens of innovators are driving real ROI through social networks--and how you can, too. Powell''s wide-ranging research, including coverage on Barack Obama''s successful online strategy in his bid for the presidency, focuses on technology, media and gaming companies, leaders in fashion, beauty, publishing, finance, retail, event planning, and beyond. These powerful narratives illuminate the reality of doing business on today''s social networks as never before. Through them, Powell introduces new best practices, shows how to avoid crucial pitfalls, and helps you prepare for the newest trends in online social networking. Drawing on the latest research, Powell connects the dots, uncovering the human dynamics and patterns that consistently underlie successful social networking initiatives. Along the way, she offers practical tools and advice for optimizing every stage of your own social networking initiative--from planning through measurement, and beyond.

March 14, 2010 (CHICAGO) --Despite the demise of the South Side parade, thousands of people across town were donning green for the eighth annual Northwest Side Irish Parade.Those viewing the parade along Northwest Highway were treated to much dryer conditions than Saturday's downtown parade.
The parade included floats, dancers, and at least one leprechaun on hand to help entertain the crowd.
After the parade, organizers held a tribute to Illinois soldiers wounded in service to the country.

Blackwell Hotel Elopement
Small intimate weddings are always one of my favorite things to photograph. This rainy day elopement at the Blackwell Hotel was no exception. The Blackwell Hotel did an amazing job of coordinating the details for Scott and Sydney's beautiful ceremony. The stunning accessories the bride wore were from Rent the Runway. Lovely cake from one of my favorite local bakeries, Stacie's Cakes. We got rained on briefly, but were able to at least go outside for a few outdoor portraits. Congratulations Scott and Sydney! We loved being a part of your wedding! Thank you to my second shooter Ashley Haikkila!
Debi Lawson, Mom of Scott Anderson(non-registered)
Absolutely priceless.....thank you so very much for your professionalism throughout the whole process....and so quick to view!

Guwahati/ 16th September'2017 (Prag News Desk): China said that it is opposed to any foreign investments, including that from Japan, in India's Northeast and is against any third party's involvement in resolving its border disputes with India.

Eric Paulsen, Seventh Grade
View the 7th Grade Assignments
I am the seventh grade teacher at St. Matthew's Lutheran School and serve as the Technology Director. I also coach several of our athletic teams.
I was born in Willmar, MN. I spent the next three years there before moving to New Ulm, MN when my father, John Paulsen, accepted a call to Dr. Martin Luther College (DMLC) since renamed Martin Luther College (MLC). I attended school in New Ulm for the rest of my formal education, with the exception of one year in State College, PA, while my father attended Penn State. I received a call to Oconomowoc upon my graduation in the spring of 1989 and have been teaching here since.
I am married to Amy (Hennig) Paulsen and we have two ambitious boys named Michael and Ian and one precocious daughter named Lauren. Life has taken on quite a few more dimensions with these three wild ones about. It is hard to remember what it was like when it was just Amy and myself.
I am an avid outdoorsman, when I can find the time, and enjoy a wide range of activities such as gun hunting, bow hunting for deer, wakeboarding, and motorcycling. However, with the birth of our first son, my wife and I decided that the motorcycle was a thing of the past. Now we take a trip every couple of years on a rented Harley. We have instead purchased a boat. Our family spends many enjoyable hours together on the lake.
School Computer Information
Our school has networked Macintosh computers running OS X. Our students in grades 5-8 are using their own iPads in school. Our faculty has computer inservice sessions as needed. We cover topics ranging from application usage to incorporation into the curriculum. I run the inservice sessions and welcome any feedback from others who also run their school's inservice.
We added T1 Internet access to our school's network in 1995. We've since switched to a higher bandwidth cable connection. We run several Linux variants in connection with our OS X servers to provide all our network services. I have to run one Windows server for our church's management software, ACS.
School Athletic Information
I have been coaching since I've been here and find it to be one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching. I have coached flag football, basketball for boys and girls, and track. I have coached various YMCA teams as our kids progressed through the grades. I also coached eight years of tackle football for the city of Oconomowoc. I've also coached for Playground Elite, an AAU basketball program out of Milwaukee. I've been able to reconnect with Jeff and Dante Smith. Jeff was the point guard on our college team. It has been rewarding working with the players in this program.

After my initial introduction to my new company I have been moved into the general population…namely the main open-plan office. I know many people with Asperger's Syndrome have problems with open-plan offices and such but I'm not that bothered by it. I'm missing the reduction in screen privacy, and I guess I am occasionally annoyed by the idiotic discussions that go on around me, both technical (someone didn't understand why when updating something using jQuery the html in view->source did not also change (sorry if you don't understand that)) and non-technical (someone telling an anecdote about someone they knew who worked at a bank and programmed the computers to siphon off spare money…I swear this actually took place, I couldn't bite my lip and had to inform him that wasn't an anecdote, it was the plot for Superman III).
Stranger than the open-plan office is the lift that I need to take each morning, and each evening. It's only a few floors but when you're in a confined space with someone you're constantly thinking in your head "please no-one start a conversation"…but they always do. We're in there for 20 seconds or less…how can you have a conversation? Gah! This morning I had to actually go the wrong way out of the office so I didn't cut my co-converser off mid anecdote (he was telling me about his friend who got bitten by a radioactive spider). Then on the way home rather than go to the car park I had to walk half way down the road so I didn't cut off someone else mid-anecdote.

I spent years trying to get from a shared space to my own office. Eventually I managed it and found it much less stressful. At one point I was in my own office on my own floor! Luxury.
The next job I had was open plan and I hated it. So many conversations, opportunities for interruption, distractions etc.
Currently I'm in a 3 person office but it's OK as no one says very much, but I do find I'm more productive in solitary.

It isnt the work that I hate, it is the people I work with! the conversations can be rather petty as well. Nothing worse than people moaning over this and that. Some of the conversations really do my head in.

Joe Anglim may not have won a million bucks on "Survivor," but his spot-on impressions of tribe mates Mike Holloway and Rodney Lavoie could very well earn him his own Broadway one-man show. Listen to Joe's hilarious impersonations in our new podcast below, and then make your predictions for next week's episode to win our prize of a $100 Amazon gift certificate. It's fun and easy, so start now by scrolling down and predicting who will be eliminated next.
"Here's the deal with Mike. Mike has his angry ratchet voice … like he's got this whole other side of him," Joe says in his deep drawl. He then switches to a Boston accent for his Rodney impression, joking, "Yo, Jeff, I haven't had a reward in like four days, bro. I need some carbs. I need a reward, brother. Like, come on, dude."
Joe also details how his "heart dropped" when Mike asked host Jeff Probst to verify the fake hidden Immunity idol that he'd created in order to try to extend his life in the game. "I think he knew I was trying to pull a fast one. I was so upset, because now he just exposed it to everybody."
Scroll down to listen to our entire exit interview with Joe, including why he thinks Jenn Brown wanted to quit, his thoughts on the Tyler Fredrickson/Carolyn Rivera secret alliance, what he learned about himself from being on "Survivor" and what it was like being on a "sinking vessel" where he couldn't do a lot of strategizing.
Who will win 'Survivor: Worlds Apart'? See exclusive predictions
Congratulations to our user Sunhound for winning this week's episode contest. If eligible, this reader will win a $100 Amazon gift certificate for reaping 80% accuracy and a 50,364 point score when predicting Episode 9, titled "Livin' on the Edge." See contest rules.
Sunhound's winning predictions were that Joe would be voted out, that a hidden Immunity idol would not be played, that nobody would quit the game, and that Dan Foley, Shirin Oskooi, Sierra Thomas, Mike Holloway and Tyler Fredrickson would all win the Reward challenge. He only missed out on predicting who'd win the Immunity challenge, forecasting Jenn instead of the actual champ Tyler.
Joe was ranked first in Gold Derby's predictions to go home with final odds of 17/10 (click on the left-hand chart for the episode's full odds). Sunhound put his 200 point bet on that prediction and netted 320 points. However, he nabbed an astounding 50,000 points by correctly calling all five of this week's Reward challenge winners with his special 500 point bet: Wow!
Whose torch do you think will be snuffed next? Be sure to visit our predictions center and make/update your forecasts before voting closes Wednesday at 5 p.m. PT. The user with the highest prediction accuracy and most points will win a $100 Amazon gift certificate.
'Survivor: Worlds Apart' predictions: Is Mike Holloway dark horse to win?
Where do you fall on our overall Season 30 leaderboard?
After a flip-flop battle between Smartdude and Taloson for first place, Smartdude took the lead again this week. His overall season accuracy is now 67%, just ahead of Taloson who's at 66%. Talk about a true nail-biter!
Benutty is just behind our frontrunners in third place with 65% accuracy, while this week's episode leader Sunhound is in fourth place with 62% and JasonNolette is in fifth place with 56%.
Can YOU beat these frontrunners to win our prizes? Then be sure to take part in our "Survivor" prediction contest. We're giving away $100 Amazon gift certificates to our weekly winners plus at season's end. The deadline for each episode is Wednesday at 5 p.m. PT.
Our current overall leader Smartdude predicted Joe's elimination this week. However, he didn't even have Hali in his predictions to get the boot in Episode 8 (see complete predix), proving that it's possible to do well in our contests without getting everything right.
Remember that coming out on top doesn't just mean answering that week's questions correctly. You also have to use your three big bets (500 points and two of 200 points) strategically to score the most game points. If you bet on a longshot who pulls off an upset, you can really rack up the points, so don't take them for granted.
To vote for who think will go home next on "Survivor," drag contestants over from the left to the right and arrange them in your predicted order. For example, if you think Jenn will be eliminated, make sure you put her in first place. You can continue to update and change your predictions throughout the week, just click "Save Predictions" when you've settled on your choice.
'Survivor: Worlds Apart' poll: Your LEAST favorite castaways are Rodney, Dan, …
Average Gold Derby users just like YOU often turn out to be our smartest prognosticators, so it's important that you give us your predictions. You can change them later as often as you like.
We are forecasting everything from the results on TV shows like "The Voice," "Survivor," "Dancing with the Stars," "American Idol" and "The Amazing Race" to the winners of the Emmys (Primetime and Daytime), Tonys and ACM Awards.
Get started by making your prediction as to which castaway will be eliminated next using our easy drag-and-drop menu below our exit interview with Joe. And be sure to sound off on the current season of "Survivor" in Gold Derby's reality TV forum.

Los Angeles City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana is now dealing with a DUI arrest, which is surprising to many people in the L.A community. Some say that the man is the most powerful non-elected official in the city. He oversees the city's $7 billion budget and is paid approximately $220,000, according to L.A List.
A California Highway Patrol officer pulled over Mr. Santana last Thursday in Covina after he was seen traveling at high speeds. A CHP spokesman later said that the man failed a field sobriety test and that he had submitted himself to a blood-alcohol test, but that the test results are not being disclosed to the public.

DSP is a suite of tools that adds security to print jobs and prevents counterfeiting.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 13, 2015
Chicago-based digital print leader Sunrise Hitek is proud to introduce Digital Secure Print (DSP) technology with invisible UV ink. DSP is a suite of tools that adds security to print jobs and prevents counterfeiting (https://www.sunrisehitek.com). Some options while using this new suite include digital matte ink for digital watermarks on glossy substrates, invisible red ink for UV and black light security on any substrate, and raised print, which allows the customer to selectively raise a background pattern for a textured effect.
DSP can be combined with other technologies to further add value on any print job. Sunrise Hitek employs the latest HP Indigo One-Shot technology, which accumulates ink on the blanket in perfect registration, and transfers to a substrate in one shot. They combine this with their wide variety of plastic materials available, including clear, matte, or embossed rigid vinyl, polyester, polypropylene, polycarbonate, static cling, Teslin, synthetic paper, styrene, and many more (https://www.sunrisehitek.com/product/window-cling). Opaque white ink prints inline on clear material to provide a base layer, or a special effect. A block-out layer can be sandwich-printed for double-sided application.
Some DSP features such as raised print and spot coating are also available on large format projects. This process is also fully variable-data compatible. Since Sunrise Hitek is a G7 Qualified Master Printer, unsurpassed color accuracy and consistency are ensured, as well as a best price guarantee – Sunrise will match any bona-fide competitive quote on jobs with the same specifications.

The natural world has many intrinsic similarities. I am fascinated by my realization that the root of a plant serves a similar purpose to the intestine in the human body. I am amazed at the complexity and mystery of the stars and the distant galaxies and struck by how much a satellite picture of that vastness resembles a microscopic image of our blood cells. I am intrigued by medical specimens; the idea that a small container can hold part of a plant or human for examination and study. I am drawn to intricate vines that cover houses and walls, as though decorated with lace. My work explores these many natural affinities and phenomena, drawing attention to the unity that exists between our humanity and the world we inhabit.
References from history, medicine and botany inform my work. Readings about hysteria and its impact on women in the 1800s was the driving force behind an early installation that merged pictures of hysterical patients with the constellations. As I played with overlaying the constellations on the various hysterical females, I was struck by how the pieces fit together like some mystical puzzle. Pairing two seemingly dissimilar elements and finding a connection is exciting to me. Sometimes I place two images side by side, at other times, they are woven together into a single environment.
The work that I create is made up of many different materials from glass to ceramics to etching and wax. Over the past few years, I have been working with encaustic paint. The translucent beeswax layers allow me to create a sense of depth within the flat surface and the supple texture of the painting is luminous, resembling skin. I love having so many processes at my disposal. When making a piece, the decisions about idea and concept inevitably take into account what materials will best convey the intent. For me the driving force of the work is the idea.

President Tracy Fitzsimmons cuts the piano-shaped cake as Shenandoah Conservatory accomplishes the goal of becoming an All-Steinway School.
Shenandoah University's Critical Analysis Leads To A Sweet All-Steinway Celebration!
As seen in the Winter 2016 edition of the Steinway Chronicle.
WINCHESTER, VA – Michael Stepniak, Dean of Shenandoah University's renowned Shenandoah Conservatory, would be the first person to admit the All-Steinway School campaign was anything but a piece of cake. So after conducting a thorough academic exercise that included fact-checking missions to validate what Steinway & Sons was saying about its All-Steinway program, he knew the subsequent celebration merited something much more.
For a monumental symbol of excellence, the school reached out to Buddy Valastro and his popular television show, "Cake Boss." Buddy and 10 co-workers at Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken N.J. handcrafted a Steinway Model B-sized cake sporting 120 pounds of black fondant. His custom-made confection was so gigantic it couldn't fit into Ruebush Hall, where more than 200 well-wishers converged on a late September afternoon. The festivities then moved outdoors to a tent for a scrumptious conclusion.
In 2010, spearheaded by piano professors Dr. Karen Walker and Dr. Elizabeth Caluda, Shenandoah began a critical analysis aimed at improving its large fleet of instruments. Professors rolled in a Steinway and two other brands for a blind sound test with President Tracy Fitzsimmons while a staff member called on no fewer than 18 different All-Steinway schools.
Top Left: Eight hands - one Steinway! Students Annie Wong, Minji Lee, Anthony Cornet and Alexander Bernstein. Top Right: Sally Coveleskie and Ron Losby present the All-Steinway Schools plaque to President Tracy Fitzsimmons and Dean Michael Stepniak. Bottom Left: John O'Conor and the Shenandoah Conservatory Orchestra offered an exhilarating performance of Beethoven's "Emperor Concerto" at the All-Steinway celebration concert. Bottom Right: Rebekah Hade, at left, and Kathie Werner share a special bond to Shenandoah Conservatory's designationas an All-Steinway School. Rebekah was one of the students who helped select three Steinway pianos for the Werner Suite, a student practice facility made possible by the generosity of Kathie and her husband, Rupert Werner.
We wanted the very best for our students.
"We looked at all the issues and options," Dr. Stepniak told the audience. "We wanted to make sure every dollar counted. We ultimately chose Steinway because no path provided us with a similar opportunity to ensure the presence of quality instruments, to impact the quality of music making and to make a significant impact on recruiting," he said.
Mitchell Moore, Vice President of Advancement and Planning, directed the $2.7 million campaign for 84 new pianos by Steinway & Sons from the Steinway Piano Gallery of Washington D.C. "We are extremely proud that Shenandoah Conservatory fully explored every benefit of the All-Steinway endeavor and allowed us to partner with them on this amazing journey," said Ken Saliba, Executive Director of Institutional Sales.
President Fitzsimmons said Shenandoah University remains "consumed" by the pursuit of excellence. "That's why we went with the All-Steinway program – because we wanted the very best for our students. This initiative didn't occur in a vacuum. It's part of a larger series of projects that exemplifies our commitment to excellence. We will continue to partner with outstanding institutions like Steinway & Sons," she said.
It's going to enrich this community for generations to come. These gifts are gifts that will keep on giving.
A dedicated group of donors gifted $1.5 million while Shenandoah contributed $1.2 million to complete the four-year campaign. John O'Conor, Chair of the Keyboard Division and Distinguished Artist-in-Residence, said the All-Steinway designation will create a profound legacy. "It's saying something about the level of musicianship we expect here, the teachers we have, and the respect for the Shenandoah Conservatory. I cannot express adequately my thanks to the people who gave the money for these Steinways because we couldn't have done it without them. They have given us a present that will last for a long, long time."
"This plan, this dream, this hope has turned into an extraordinary reality, and one that's even exceeded our expectations," Dr. Stepniak acknowledged. "This is enriching our students' lives now; it is enriching our community now. It's going to enrich this community for generations to come. These gifts are gifts that will keep on giving."
Officials at Shenandoah also wanted to give something back to the artisans at Steinway & Sons for the gift of their labors. So the sugary mass was returned to Carlo's, where it was freshened with a new edible keyboard and delivered to the factory in Astoria. Shenandoah included 300 additional pieces of cake to be sure everyone shared in the celebration. The best celebrations, it seems, always end with something sweet.

How to Achieve Your Goals and Live Your Best Life in 2018
Do you remember your childhood?
Yeah, me neither.
However, I do remember growing up as a kid, I always had this dream of having the good things in life (fancy cars, houses, wrists watch and everything else you can imagine), travelling the world, making new friends and making a bucket-load of money.
Mind you, none of that happened at the time.
My brother and I would start the year by talking about all the things we wanted to do, the things we'd stop doing and things we'd achieve by the end of the same year.
On Day 1 of the New Year, the resolution would seem to be working. Day 2 would also go smoothly.
From Day 3, the resolution would begin to go down the toilet and before the end of that week, all the resolutions, the do`s and the don'ts would vanish into thin air.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Well, how about this?
I'm sure you've seen people you envy because they have a few (or more than a few) things you probably don't have but want.
Yeah, it stings, right?
Okay, enough about failed New Year's resolutions, 2017 is almost gone. Let's talk about how to do better in 2018.
How You Can Achieve Your Goals and Live Your Best Life In 2018?
First things first, you need to understand that you are the pilot of your dreams, your future and your life in general.
Whatever you want to achieve begins from within.
As such, your thoughts should never be on autopilot because it will do you more harm than good.
But maybe, I'm getting ahead of myself. Here are a few tips to help you live your best life in 2018:
#1. To leave where you are and get to where you want to be requires discipline, planning, preparation and the mind of a go getter.
#2. Believe in yourself. You can do anything if you believe in yourself and if your "'Why'' is strong enough.
#3. Every idea you come up with, make sure you write them down, make a plan and work on them gradually.
#4. Never accept that you can't do something. You have great power within you! Challenge yourself to do something you've never done before and act on it.
#5. It's one thing to want something, and a different thing to go for it. To live the life you dream of, you need to take responsibility for taking the steps required to get there.
#6. Learn something new everyday.
#7. Live each day like it would be your last and you only have one chance to achieve that which is important to you.
#8. Plan your daily 'To Do`s' and tick things off the list as you do them. Don't sleep till you've ticked everything off your list.
#9. Leave the past in the past. Forgive yourself for whatever regrets you might have and focus on what needs to be done.
#10. As the popular saying goes "No man is an island", go out and make good friends. Learn from them, develop yourself and build strategies on how to get the little things done before proceeding to bigger ones.
#11. Love yourself for who you are. Never try to copy someone else. An original is worth more than a photocopy. Be yourself, flaws and all.
#12. Stop making excuses. Stop procrastinating. Stop telling yourself "I'll do it later" . Later too often becomes Never and you'll never get anything done that way.
#13. Take action, make mistakes, learn from them and move on.
In conclusion:
I know the title said 2018, but why wait? Why not start now?
Don't give me that line about "… waiting for a better time." Start now, keep at it everyday, and slowly, but surely, the life you've always fantasized about will become your reality.
You can do great things. You have no limits, except the ones you place on yourself.
Go get the lifestyle you want.
Be Heard. What Do You Think?
Do you have any more tips for living your best life? Let's talk in the comments section.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy clashed over Obamacare and each other's resumes Wednesday night in their second and final debate for Rubio's Senate seat.
The pair met at Broward College in Davie with less than two weeks to go before Election Day.
PolitiFact Florida fact-checked statements each candidate made during the event. Here's our running list of things we've examined.
Murphy: Rubio had the "worst voting record of any senator from Florida for at least 50 years."
Rubio has the highest absentee rate since George Smathers, who left office in 1969. There are plenty of ways to slice the data: Some senators missed more votes overall, and his record is largely in line with other presidential candidates from the U.S. Senate. It's important to keep those points in mind, but the roll call has been recorded. We rated the statement Mostly True.
Murphy: Rubio doesn't trust Donald Trump with the nuclear codes
This is True. At the last debate, Rubio told the crowd he still doesn't trust Trump with the nuclear codes — he just distrusts Clinton more.
Rubio: Fact-checkers have confirmed Murphy "hasn't had a single contract" to clean up the Gulf of Mexico.
Murphy was a small business owner, but the business was owned by multiple people and grew out of a business owned by his father. The business was Coastal Environmental Services, a company formed to clean up the Gulf oil spill. Ultimately the firm only did work in the Gulf for a few months.
Rubio: "It's not a risk corridor, it's a bailout."
What Rubio called a "bailout" is actually a provision in the Affordable Care Act that really is called risk corridors, designed to temporarily aid insurers as they adjust premiums. Rubio helped persuade Congress to prevent Health and Human Services from being able to cover expenses with its own budget. (A similar provision was used for the Medicare prescription drug coverage overhaul.)
Experts have said Rubio is wrong to call the program a bailout, and that the program is supposed to pay for itself through fees from insurers. Furthermore, the program hasn't been "wiped out." At best, Rubio and Congress have temporarily limited one potential way CMS could have covered insurance companies' losses.
We'll have to see what happens when the program expires after 2016 — then any outstanding bills will be due, one way or another.
Rubio: The president was proposing "pinprick strikes" against terrorists in Syria.
Rubio is wrong. In reality, Obama said the exact opposite of that, stating several times that a U.S. military response to Syria's use of chemical weapons on its citizens would involve a significant show of force.
"As some members of Congress have said, there's no point in simply doing a pinprick strike in Syria," Obama said in an address from the White House on Sept. 10, 2013. "Let me make something clear: The United States military doesn't do pinpricks."
While the president's full strategy was somewhat unclear, at the debate Rubio echoed Obama's own past statements that the U.S. military was not built for small-scale engagements that could be characterized as "pinpricks." We rated Rubio's statement False.
Murphy: All of Rubio's attacks on his resume have "been debunked."
Murphy used this line in the last debate, but it still isn't quite accurate. We've fact-checked several attacks on Murphy's resume, and found some of his opponents have a point.
For example, when Rubio previously said, "Murphy embellished, according to reports, his University of Miami academic achievement," we rated that Mostly True.
On his congressional office and U.S. Senate campaign websites, Murphy said he had "dual degrees," but he really had a single degree with a double major in accounting and finance. When the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times pointed out the inaccuracy, his campaign said it was an error and fixed it. Murphy had also referred to "dual degree" at times in the past, while other times his websites reflected a single degree.
Other attacks, such as saying Murphy was never a CPA, were incorrect on the details. In some cases, those attack lines have since evolved to be more careful.
Murphy: Rubio missed 41 percent of his votes in the Senate.
Between March 5, 2015, to March 3, 2016, Rubio missed 41 percent of his Senate votes.
Rubio's absentee rate of 41 percent puts him at the 100th percentile, which means that in that year, he has had a worse voting record than every other sitting senator. In contrast, the Senate median absentee record for the past year is just 1 percent.
The majority of the votes Rubio's skipped came after April 13, when he announced his candidacy for the presidency, the Tampa Bay Times noted.
Murphy's number is a bit outdated, and Rubio's absentee rate has since changed. From April to September this year, Rubio has missed three of 113 votes, or 2.7 percent.
Rubio: The United States has one of the highest corporate tax rates.
We previously fact-checked a statement about whether the United States has the highest corporate tax rate in the world, and found it pretty accurate in 2014. The United States does have the highest statutory rate among developed countries. However, the United States' corporate tax rate doesn't appear to be the highest once deductions and other exclusions are taken into account.
PolitiFact staff writer Allison Graves contributed to this report.
Politifact Florida is a partnership between The Tampa Bay Times and the Miami Herald to check out truth in politics.

it's as if they're actually marketing to people who are in their 20's and 30's on business trips now.
I can't wait for our generation to reach upper middle age and finally get the world functioning to our needs, then the next generation calls us archaic and awful and pushes their own needs and we become woefully obsolete and socially inept.
It's gonna be fun on a bun.
But no seriously I look forward to nursing homes full of weed and video games.
Edit: holy good god thanks for the gold and personal record breaking karma guys
And to those saying no games because of arthritis, I'm going into prosthetic limb design. If all goes right I'll have robot hands by 55. Or I'll just make a deal with the robot devil. Whichever comes first.
The successful businesses these days are the ones who don't act like baby boomers are the only consumers on this planet.
To see your scenario all the way through, our generation then must forcefully deny and repel them, even to the point of trying to enact legislation to criminalize things we can't understand or profit from.
The overwhelming majority of them have some form of pay-per-view, yes. And, of course, every single one of them has a Bible in the night stand. (Yes, seriously).
I have never encountered any hotel room with porn on the TV, is it just an American thing or am I too young?
I remember on a youth group field trip I brought my Sega Genesis to the hotel. I had dreams of pulling it out of my suitcase and everyone getting excited to play Mortal Kombat II all night.
I brought the coax adapter and good thing I did because that's all the tv had. But the tv also had an anti tampering device on the coax.
I messed with it for 10 minutes and couldn't figure it out. Ended up not being able to play video games or watch tv because I screwed up the connector.
I achieved the opposite of my goal.
I was so pissed when trying to get HDMI working at the Tropicana in vegas, called the front desk and they confirmed it's hard locked out. What bullshit.
Just wanted to watch some Netflix while I was hungover.
As is tradition.
I'm actually surprised they're not forcing you to buy overpriced 5 year old movies.
I brought my Xbox once to a hotel and tried the HDMI 2 port and nothing happened so I looked at how the cable was connected (by HDMI) and it had a 'do not remove' sticker on it, so I just unplugged it and then plugged in my Xbox and it worked.
Your story is like a parable for my whole life.
Easier to charge for wi-fi.
Buddy, if any of us ever gave any thought to what we know full well has occurred in our room prior to our occupying it.... Folks probably wouldn't be using hotels very often. Well.... Either that or thinking about that stuff is their fetish in which case at least they wouldn't have to pay for over-priced overpriced porn.
Edit: Because the Grammar Nazis have spoken . . . and I'm kind of one too.
I've seen bibles all over the place, but I had no idea how they ended up there. TIL. But I don't see how anyone would want to pay to watch porn in a hotel room, while knowing fully well that others would have done it too and knowing how thorough cleaning staff usually aren't due to time.
Happened at the last hotel I was in. Just had to unplug an Ethernet cable from the back of it and everything worked fine as long as you used the same input the box was going into because the buttons were all still locked
As our forefathers did before us
Actually work for this hotel chain, and it's completely free! So are borrowing the cables!
I'm sorry to hear that.
If it makes you feel any better:
To redeem myself, on the next youth group camp during the summer I went overboard. I had every single game, every controller (even Mad Katz) all packed up in my bag. I hardly had room for clothes for the week.
We get to our cabin, and there is no tv.
The whole week I hid my bag and never went through it with anyone else around in fear they'd see my futility.
Just another thing millennials have ruined.
Edit: should have added an /s
If you use a universal remote app on your phone you can almost alway bypass locked buttons
You can buy a 3.5mm headphone jack to IR blaster for a few bucks online like this one. Then download an app on your smartphone and you got yourself a universal remote control. Sorry iPhone 7 users. I guess your adapter would work too. :(
Scandic? Label looks familiar. I travel a lot in the Nordics for business.
And their forefathers before them!
That makes me feel the opposite of better.
iPhone 7 users could do USB adapter to 3.5mm to IR blaster?
Assuming your phone has IR on it
A man stays at a hotel with his family. He asks: "Is the porn on the TV disabled?" - "We only have regular porn, you sick fuck!"
Find out the MAC adress of the Chromecast, and then spoof that adress with your phone or laptop and log into the wifi. Once you're on, disconnect your computer and switch back to the original adress. Your Chromecast should then connect straight to the wifi. This is how I did it on my dorm wifi, should work the same way for any other open network.
You can go full circle and buy a full remote and tape it to the back of your phone. :)
Finally, I can watch my own porn on the 20" TV from 2009.
Of course! But it rarely happens as we take all the contact information at check-in! The fee varies from hotel to hotel. :)
That's what pissed me off about that article that said this generation is "killing" traditional restaurants like Applebees: it's their own unwillingness to change business models to adjust for what consumers want now that is hurting them, and blaming it on the consumer is just dumb.
I went to a hotel where they offered to let you log inwith your Netflix info to start watching through their televisions. It didn't sit well with me.
You'd still have people banging in your bed before you slept in it
Even hotels are starting to recognise why most cord-cutters actually cut.
It's not because of cost, it's because there's nothing on cable that is worth paying for.
If they come for my weed and hentai vr there are gonna be a lot of pissed of gramps
We're going full circle boys.
What if your phone doesnt have a headphone jack
But can we go deeper?
Went on them all the time. I actually got called out by the youth pastor for the game system. They weren't explicitly banned until me.
When unloading the bags from the van they were throwing them and I yelled to be careful with mine. He asked why and I told him. The next year they had a list of items not allowed.
The year after that, water balloon slingshots made the list.
That's why I would prefer hotels without porn, I guess that would minimize masturbation. Also, is both amazing an disgusting.
Well I don't want to fuck the hooker at the bar do I?
A few years ago I stayed at the Isleta in New Mexico, they had all HDMI ports blocked except one, the one that the cable was plugged in to. I brought my Xbox One for Netflix and simply unplugged the cable box. They though they had me outsmarted with the WiFi (because you need to sign in before you can use it, can't do that on an Xbox) but all I had to do was sign into the WiFi on my phone, change the IP address for the Xbox to the one for my phone and bam, hotel WiFi on xbox
Edit: MAC address, not IP address
Is there a fee for non-returned cables?
You should have known that fun is expressly forbidden at youth camp.
Yeah most Vegas hotels do this because if you're spending time in your room, you're not spending time on their casino floor, in their buffet, watching their shows, etc. It's not profitable for them to make your hotel room super cozy.
You don't "give it to the hotel". You log into your account yourself on the TV, just like any other device that has Netflix on it. The hotel can't see that info. They aren't conspiring to get a huge list of Netflix logins.
Sorry again. How can I help?
Shh, don't tell the boomer that. They'll just try and put an end to it.
I've brought my chromecast on trips for this reason, but so many hotels have a splash page for their internet, and I can't get the damn thing to work. Anyone know how to connect a chromecast with a splash page?
Circle up and dicks out, you know the drill.
My favorite was the Hilton hotel. Somebody on Imgur dropped a bunch of change on the floor of a Hilton hotel room, and when they tried looking for it, there was a little sign under the bed that said "Yes, we clean under the beds, too."
Restaurants aren't dying, though. It's the chain restaurants that are having problems because outside of rural areas they are dealing with much larger competition from local restaurants with much better food and a much wider variety of cuisines to pick from.
If I have $40 a week to spend eating out, I'm going to local foodie establishments, not fast casual dining places like Applebee's/Chili's/TGI Friday's/Ruby Tuesday, all of which have pre-made frozen food they heat up to serve to you.
Do you also hover above the toilet seat?
If I wanted to peel meat off of bones I'd be a caveman.
Bring your own micro projector and folding tabletop screen. Bam
If a hotel has no free wifi, then I chose a different one. I can't charge my company for wifi but I can take a more expensive hotel that has free WiFi and the company will pay for that.
Free WiFi and breakfast are a requirements when I travel.
Did you go on any other youth trips ? If so, did you bring your own TV ?
You are correct!
hah by that time I'll have my neural shunt installed
Not only that but you're paying a premium when 1/3 of a show is advertisements.
There was a Christian band. There was a "mosh pit." I got elbowed in the nose.
I got a deviated septum from a mosh pit at church camp.
Fun fact: They want you 'steal' the Bibles..
you won't be able to play the games because of arthritis
Wow I'm not afraid of getting old anymore
LPT: There is usually a box connected to the tv via HDMI and another data cable. Unplug either this data cable or the power to that box, then unplug the tv power momentarily to reboot the tv. The panel buttons should work normally. If the remote in the room has the tv, manufacturer logo on it, that should work as well. If not, you can use a universal remote, or your phone if it has universal remote functionality. PLEASE be nice and put everything back and reboot the tv before checking out. The hotel staff have a hard enough job as it is and most likely don't get paid as much as they should.
What is actually happening here is that when the box is active, the tv is in hotel mode with the panel and remote buttons redirected to that box, overriding the normal operation of the tv. Without the box connected it falls back to a normal mode and you should be able to treat it like a normal tv.
Look all I want is bone-in chicken wings not freaking boneless chicken wings which are just chicken nuggets. Fuck you Applebee's and Chili's
Damn. I must have left that in my other Mercedes. Jokes aside how much does a micro projector cost?
Call me crazy but isn't the successful businesses always the ones catering to their largest customer base? Baby boomers are old and retiring. Generation X and millennials are the the ones going on business trips and staying in hotels now.
Edit: Generation Y to Generation X
Honestly, the thing that's killing the casual places you mentioned ARE the fast casual places. Casual is the applebee's/chilis/etc of the world. Fast casual is the chipotle/shake shack/five guys/panera bread/noodles & co/ boston market, etc.
And it's for exactly the reason you said; the casual places have pre-made frozen food, they necessitate tipping as well as the (minimal) cost of wait staff built into the prices, and they require larger facilities because nobody is taking their food home. The fast casual places are using fresh food, simple but tasty recipes, and a quick in/out experience which facilitates taking food back to the office/home to eat, which a lot more people are doing these days.
The growing visibility of local restaurants, via social media and review sites, is also a big part of it, like you mentioned.
Wtf would a hotel do with your Netflix credentials? Watch a horror movie and fuck up your recommendations?
Bring new TV, that's what I do
Plenty of people are there for conventions, business meetings, or they're kids with parents, or after a long day I wanna sleep in the morning and watch 90s reruns of my fav shows or Netflix the latest content. Nothing wrong with that.
Not everyone is a 21 yr old group of kids who needs to stay out until 4am every night on the strip.
Sometimes they have a metal panel screwed over them. Hotels are awesome!
Is there a fee for non-returned cables?
Do they charge you if you steal their shit?
Weedio games
Finally, the millennials to snake people addon is paying off.
Sometimes it might even be you!
I travel weekly for work and love it when my hotels offer this, mostly Marriott brands. It leaves you logged in only for the duration of your stay and logs you out when you check out. How could you hate this?
I'm paranoid at motels. I won't use the internet without a VPN, won't touch the remote control without a barrier, and won't plug into an unknown USB.
Please the depraved things people do in a hotel room would have you never using them again if you really concerned yourself about it.
What happened to gen X? We're the ones who invented that shit. We wanted it--you guys get to use it.
I'm pretty sure what's killing restaurants is that people can't afford to go to restaurants anymore. That's a pretty massive systemic problem to fix my changing the apps menu.
Our generation and the next are going to be far more in-touch with each other. Technology progresses exponentially, but there's a sort of ceiling for how much new innovations can change our daily lives. Young adults now are the first generation to have unfettered access to information for most of their lives, and that'll never change.
Phelps: They stamped it, didn't they? Those damn Gideons.
I don't know why you were downvoted so I upvoted but I stay in a hotel 3 to 5 night's a week and hate this.
That's nice, I sometimes travel with an Apple TV, and it's irritating when they've blocked or disabled all the ports.
We are all baby boomers on this blessed day
I've seen those too, in non-Hilton properties. Also seen some similar signs between the mattress and box spring. My favorite, though, was in a cheaper hotel in the late 1980s...for some reason one of us moved a picture on the wall and discovered a sign behind it that read "HOUSEKEEPING: THIS ART HAS BEEN STOLEN, PLEASE REPORT!" as if someone would actually steal their shitty generic hotel "painting" of an English cottage at sunset.
It seems a little bit sketchy giving your netflix info to a hotel
Edit: I get it how it works now ya'll.
I remember once for an overnight middle school field trip, I brought my PS2 and Rock Band set. Everyone talked about it all day. We'd play Rock Band all night. fuck the teachers and their stupid curfew. We set up the PS2, the guitars, the drums, the mic. We were ready to rock.
I forgot the disc.
/sub/pcmasterrace must hate you
HAHAHAHAHAHA no.
Why can they leave something cool like a vhs copy of nightcourt
I truly hope so... as long as the next generation doesn't expand upon our already cancerous facebook memes, vines, and pointlessly stupid youtube channels...
I mean come on 2016 was a disaster in itself with braindead content.

Athletics Carnival 2017
The Year 7 and 8 Athletics Carnival was held on Friday the 4th of August at Aberfeldie Athletics Track. Despite the cold weather, the rain stayed away which made it a very pleasant day for all. The students were full of enthusiasm and it was a wonderful opportunity for them to get out and experience firsthand what an Athletics Carnival is all about.
Although Athletics is mainly an individual event, there was a great team feeling on the day. The carnival has a long tradition where the students have the opportunity to earn points for their team (Argyll, Burnet, Chisholm, Dunlop and Stirling). Each competitor received points for the events they participated in and further points were awarded to place getters.
Throughout the day students participated in a variety of track and field events, including the 100m, 1500m, Long Jump and Discus. Using the results from the heats, we held a 100m final for each age group, which was one of the highlights of the day, with all students watching and applauding their team mates on. The entire day ran smoothly and it was great to see the students participate to the best of their abilities and achieve superb results, including some personal bests. The carnival concluded with the 4×100m relay which was really exciting to watch with students running at a lightning fast pace!
Well done to all students involved and for those who placed and were awarded with ribbons. A big congratulations to Argyll for winning the Athletics Trophy for the first time in over 20 years, I've never seen Ms Di Battista so excited!!
Thank you to all of the Coaching and Fitness students for their help with the running of the day. Also, a special thank you to all teachers who attended the day and allowed it to run so smoothly!

National Thrift Store Day!
21 comments:
This post is right up my alley. Thrifting and crafting are what I do to procrastinate my homework!!ReplyDelete
I think you could put a candle or something in the swan...instead of flowers? Because it's fragile it's hard to manipulate. OR you could make it a tape dispenser! The wings arch up perfectly for that.
Happy Crafting!!
Thrifting is so much fun! I think you could paint the vase a color you like. Gold is very in right now. The serving tray could be great for jewelry or perfume! Might also be something you paint. Good luck, can't wait to see what you decide to do!ReplyDelete

Yes, thrifting is celebrated finally! Aka, my entire wardrobe. It ruined shopping at normal places for me though, because everything seems so obnoxiously expensive now! Why spend more when I could pay $10 or less?ReplyDelete

There are some amazing antique shops where I live, but they're always closed when I'm heading home from work. The pieces that you received are so neat! I would definitely spray paint the swan - maybe a nice, glossy bubblegum pink? Excited to see what you will do with the items :)ReplyDelete

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck procedure?
The Mini Tummy Tuck, also known as the Mini Adominoplasty, is a procedure that smooths a portion of the abdomen below the belly button. Both a Mini Tummy Tuck and a Full Tummy Tuck can be used to tighten the stomach muscles if they have excess laxity. A full Tummy Tuck and a Mini Tummy Tuck both tighten up the abdominal skin but the Mini Tummy Tuck has a much smaller incision as opposed to an abdominoplasty which typically has a longer incision.
Why consider a Mini Tummy Tuck?
The Mini Abdominoplasty procedure is best suited for patients with a pouch instead of saggy skin below their belly button. It is also suitable for patients with stretch marks resulting from a C-Section and it is a less intensive procedure then a regular tummy tuck.
What should I expect from the Divino Plastic Surgery Mini Tummy Tuck?
It is important to know that the Mini Tummy Tuck is used to improve the shape and contour of the area below the belly button. As a benefit from the smaller incision the Mini Tummy Tucks do not require the belly button to be moved like a full Tummy Tuck procedure and the scar is smaller and less noticeable.
What about recovery?
The recovery time for a Mini Tummy Tuck is less than it is for a full abdominoplasty because it is less invasive. There is still some down time for recovery. Dr. Chacón will discuss your specific lifting limitations with you prior to your procedure. The incision lengths vary from six inches for a mini to the full circumference of the abdomen for a full Tummy Tuck. To help minimize the appearance of scars the incision is made in the bikini or boxer region. This minimizes scaring and allows the patient to cover the area with clothing during recovery.
